The political challenge Kephart faces in Oakland became clearer Tuesday when the Oakland United Coalition, which includes unions and affordable housing advocates, came out against his plan. In a news release, the group said Kephart had canceled several meetings and failed to include funding for community benefits such as low-income housing.
“This development will be on public land, using public money, and needs to serve the public good,” Coalition member Esther Goolsby said.
